Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by Mukunda Stiles With Great Respect and Love

This is an English rendering of the classical text on yoga and meditations that maintains the poetic forms of the sutras. Patanjali is to Yoga what Buddha is to Buddhism. His sutras-scriptural narratives sometimes defined as literally "the path to transcendence"- are a darshan, or philosophical worldview and method to aid the awakening of self-realization. Patanjali reveals a set of landmarks that enable practitioners to lift the veils and study the hidden self, eventually following this path to enlightenment.

Mukunda Stiles is the director of the Yoga Therapy Center in Denver, CO., and lectures throughout the U.S., Europe, and India. He serves on the Advisory Board of the International Association of Yoga Therapists, and is the author of Structural Yoga Therapy, Patanjalis Yoga Sutras, and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy. He lives in Boulder, Colorado.
